artifexd: I am unfamiliar with crazymeds.us. I shall investigate it.
joecool: i found out about it in high school, was considering asking doctor about it, ultimately decided to avoid because of it's effects on histamine (do you like rashes?)
joecool: ultimately most of my problems were solved by a better diet
BingoBoingo: artifexd: It is actually a decent reference work. Was endorsed by actual faculty to my pharm students
artifexd: Seems limited in what it covers
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Limited vs. Targeted is a difficult distinction
joecool: anyways, gotta sleep, headin back to freedomland tomorrow
artifexd: True. examine.com doesn't have adderall or prozac.
cazalla: nutmeg and banana skins, thank me later
artifexd: examine.com for supplements. crazymeds.us for medicines.
BingoBoingo: ;;google site:examine.com lamotrigine
gribble: Inositol - Scientific Review on Usage, Dosage, Side Effects ...: <http://examine.com/supplements/Inositol/>; Agmatine - Scientific Review on Usage, Dosage, Side Effects ...: <http://examine.com/supplements/Agmatine/>; Vinpocetine - Scientific Review on Usage, Dosage, Side Effects ...: <http://examine.com/supplements/Vinpocetine/>
BingoBoingo: Supplements are just medicines that fail
artifexd: That is simply not true

artifexd: Creatine is a supplement. It is quite successful at what it does.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 9 @ 0.031 = 0.279 BTC [-] {2}
BingoBoingo: Creatine as a supplement is rate limited though to ineffectiveness in many processes
artifexd: Ineffectiveness in what? Via what processes?
cazalla: didn't they ban that due to kids going on creatine rages
cazalla: misc says it's a steroid
ozbot: Is creatine a steroid? | Examine.com FAQ
cazalla: i'm joking artifexd, creatine rage is an old joke from buildingbuiding.com forums
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Mostly the liver and limits on precessing rooted in ancient human metabolism.
BingoBoingo: Excess creatine is largely handled by the body's workings as a disease state.
BingoBoingo: Choline... That on the other hand the body treats in excess as a blessing because you made a snapping turtle's nest your bitch
artifexd: So your saying that consuming 1kg of creatine won't provide 100 times the benefit of consuming 10g? Ok. I'll buy that. But that doesn't make taking 10g ineffective.
cazalla: I had a GP tell me to stop using it after bloodwork showed high levels of creatinine in bloodwork, told me to stop lifting as well, didn't go back to that doctor
artifexd: For the record, I'm not a creatine disciple. It is just an example.
BingoBoingo: Well, excess is relative to a point. The body is actually good at generating its own creatine, even while relatively malnourished in a few different ways
BingoBoingo: The Japs taught us that in the 1940's
cazalla: from memory, only benefit from creatine was that i held more water which made me appear bigger
BingoBoingo: That is an effect of excess creatine
BingoBoingo: Mostly safe excess, but still
BingoBoingo: !up benkay
assbot: Voicing benkay for 30 minutes.
BingoBoingo: Is anyone online now familiar with Amphoterrible B?
benkay: thanks for the continuing voice y'all
benkay: i am now officially curious how long i can go without auth and upping
BingoBoingo: benkay: Welcome
benkay: (as to how long...)
BingoBoingo: benkay Not too long if you don't say the two magic assets words.
BingoBoingo: Fuck it the three words nao
benkay: i give up what are you on about
BingoBoingo: benkay: Two words: cunt and nigger, third word is kike
artifexd: Holy crap. It is taking forever to get through today's logs. It looks like today is trying to make up for a quiet weekend.

BingoBoingo: artifexd cazalla: Since you seem most interested dangerous excesses of creatine resemble the effects of amphteracin B
BingoBoingo: !up Hghh
assbot: Voicing Hghh for 30 minutes.
artifexd: And dangerous exesses of water resemble death.
BingoBoingo: It shreds the most useful and beutiful of the kidney's filtering membranes
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Cause death.
BingoBoingo: Excess water actually on its own can cause death
cazalla: i don't think my levels were too excessive, from memory they were in the hundreds, GP said it would be a concern if it were in the thousands, average being double digits or something, this is a decade ago, i've long ago become lazy and chubby as a result
artifexd: The point being that saying something is dangerous simply because too much of it is dangerous is incorrect at best and deceitful at worst.
BingoBoingo: Of course, now we get to learning.
artifexd: Or were you not saying creatine is dangerous and I just misinterpreted?
BingoBoingo: It isn't simply that too much is dangerous. It is HOW too much is dangerous.
cazalla: oh i wouldn't know one way or the other, i was just a sucker for the marketing
BingoBoingo: Well, this is how learning happens, by knowing how both the excess an insufficiancy are dangerous and spotting a useful mean.
BingoBoingo: I think I've covered excess creatine shreds simple yet beautiful membranes in the kidneys, what does a lack of such cause?
artifexd: Stupidity?
artifexd: Crude way to say it, but basically brain damage. Right?
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Stop going up layers of abstraction and try going down. Think things with less mass than creatine?
BingoBoingo: Fuck, is drunk BingoBoingo teaches physiology going to have to be a thing?

artifexd: Medicine/biology are far from my strong points. Even if I got the words right, I likely wouldn't understand them.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Sodium, Potasium, Calcium. Why did I present them in THAT order?
artifexd: My first interpretation is Salt and Bones.
BingoBoingo: So, any eastern bloc people up? I gots a question.
BingoBoingo: Let us spz I have "mice" in my garage. Which SKS variant would require the least fussing as I eliminate the "mice".... Or should I just cheap it out on a Mosin?
artifexd: Calcium is an electrolyte?
BingoBoingo: artifexd: One of the three most important ones. I mean you like self locomotion right?
artifexd: It beats being carted around in a shopping cart.
artifexd: I always thought of calcium as "that of which bones are made", not as "that which promotes the making of bones"
BingoBoingo: Any closer to guessing my secret sauce?
BingoBoingo: Nah, bones are the most boring thing calcium does, and most of that is crbon nanotubes anyways
artifexd: I didn't know I was looking for a secret sauce. I'm still catching up on logs.
artifexd: What does your secret sauce do (at a high abstraction level)?
artifexd: Faster, better, stronger, smarter?
BingoBoingo: artifexd: It just tweeks some electrlytes.
artifexd: To what effect?
BingoBoingo: Haven't actually been on it since 2012 which was my lastest functional peak.
BingoBoingo: Legends were made that year though.
BingoBoingo: (There is an efficient substitute for it though)
artifexd: I feel similarly about modafinil. Shit made me productive for many more hours of the day than I am now.
BingoBoingo: Fuck, I've actually mentioned it by name already
artifexd: Sodium?
BingoBoingo: What have I mentioned tha tnoobs can't find reason t belong?
artifexd: That certainly narrows the search space.
BingoBoingo: I really should
BingoBoingo: Say it does
BingoBoingo: To n=1
artifexd: The antifungal stuff?
BingoBoingo: No, looking too far back
BingoBoingo: That just keeps my nutsack from being a jungle mess like Diablo-D3's
BingoBoingo: Because meat power has its limits
BingoBoingo: !up Diablo-D3
assbot: Voicing Diablo-D3 for 30 minutes.
BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: How's the Rift Valley?
BingoBoingo: Nigger
BingoBoingo: !down Diablo-D3
artifexd: The only things you've named since you brought up amphteracin B are weapons and electrolytes.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: I am pretty sure I named Lamotrigine
BingoBoingo: !up benkay
assbot: Voicing benkay for 30 minutes.
artifexd: You did. To gribble.
artifexd: I shoulda caught that.
BingoBoingo: Anything to gribble is public with right commands
BingoBoingo: Much like Fairbain's knife is right into the proper ribs
artifexd: Reading the wikipedia article on Lamotrigine doesn't give me any reason to see it as useful for a normally functioning brain.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Is that a problem with wikipedia or with a popular definition of normally functioning brain
BingoBoingo: How soon has wikipedia deleted each MP article
artifexd: Then I shall hop over to crazymeds page.
BingoBoingo: Let's narrow it. Yugo, Romanian or Russian? Which SKS handles "mice" best
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Actually even that won't offer quite a complete picture of the chemical
BingoBoingo: Or eastern bloc people is a $50 mosin enough for "mice"
artifexd: The freaky side effects are hilarious
BingoBoingo: Or terrifying
artifexd: The OCD side-effect could be useful.
BingoBoingo: Especially in Bitcoin
BingoBoingo: If you could recognize an adversary using it
BingoBoingo: as their own shtick or a schtick they milk
artifexd: I am not clinically ocd but I have ocd tendencies and I consider them one of my strengths.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Did you make it to the drug's MOA yet?
artifexd: Shit. No. The ads made me think I had scrolled all the way down and yet I was only halfway down the page.
artifexd: MOA means "How it works", right? Mode of Affect or something?
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Dude who runs the site is totally disabled. You have to account for such compromising design decisions or worse
BingoBoingo: MOA is Method of action
BingoBoingo: The internet is not designed for you and your purposes. That is the one lesson I want to hammer into the brains of so many shitheads.
artifexd: Ok. I've read it. Didn't understand much at all.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Well the problem is... well did you recognize the problem?
artifexd: Correction: I didn't really understand a damn thing.
artifexd: I mean, ok, it's a mood stabilizer. But you give me the impression it is so much more.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Lithium is not a simple mood stabilizer.
BingoBoingo: Where does lamotrigine fit there
BingoBoingo: Smoke? Anchor? Turd?
moiety: entirely different
BingoBoingo: !up Luke-Jr
assbot: Voicing Luke-Jr for 30 minutes.
artifexd: BingoBoingo, you seem to have the ability to, more than anyone else I know (including mp, maybe not including my wife), make me feel like a complete idiot.
BingoBoingo: moiety: some camels need more canings than others to fing water.
moiety: lithium is far too toxic for some and just doesnt work
moiety: lamotrigine can be used in much smaller amounts for a wide variety of things as an add-in
moiety: i totally agree about camels
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Full disclosure. I have a diagnosis of Bipolar I disorder. I can't given reality justify actual meds so i love booze.
artifexd: Lamotrigine is an anti-bi-polar medicine, right? Being bi-polar means that you tend to go from one extreme mood to the other. Successfully combating that means you in a not extreme mood.
moiety: its far more than that artifexd
artifexd: Thus a more stable mood. So, I called it a mood stabilizer.
BingoBoingo: Who says I am succeeding right now?
moiety: but a mood stabiliser in itself is a thing
BingoBoingo: Mike from breaking bad?
BingoBoingo: We all know how his half measures ended...
moiety doesn't
moiety runs
moiety: and no i didnt start archer yet either
artifexd: So why the comment that lithium is not a simple mood stabilizer when I wasn't talking about lithium. Unless you meant that as to also say that lamotrigine is also not a simple mood stabilizer.
moiety: what i said is that they are both entirely different
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Because you said what I wanted to spz. You just added noise to it though.
artifexd: "Smoke? Anchor? Turd?" <- I don't understand the reference
artifexd: spz?
BingoBoingo: Spz is standard math for suppoze
BingoBoingo: smoke is ephemeral pretend anchors without actual beds to cut into
BingoBoingo: think boats
moiety: lol i went to log into the bnf and they give you an option to check your ip. whyyyy? https://www.bnf.org/bnf/login.htm
artifexd: Anchors work even if they don't reach the bottom.
BingoBoingo: Also recognize that moiety could be more differently right than me on this subject
artifexd: So back to before you mentioned lithium. I guess that I do not recognize the problem.
moiety: its the combination game. different strokes for different folks and all that jazz
BingoBoingo: Not ^^^
BingoBoingo: !up dxrt
assbot: Voicing dxrt for 30 minutes.
BingoBoingo: What is up dxrt
artifexd: Bottom line is that if one is bipolar, lamotrigine is awesome as long as the side effects don't kill you. If you aren't bipolar are there any benefits?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5700 @ 0.0009549 = 5.4429 BTC [+]
artifexd: !up benkay
assbot: Voicing benkay for 30 minutes.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Magic happens because I dunno either of those cases
artifexd: What magic? What effects did you experience?
BingoBoingo: artifexd: How does Hephaestus feel?
artifexd: Like a blacksmith?
moiety: artifexd: depends entirely on the drug. for lithium and lamotrigine, i'd say no. but addons eg quetiapine (to stop racing thoughts) can chill people out, aid sleep and also isnt addictive
moiety: its used in place of diazepam these days
BingoBoingo: Split that. He doesn't feel a smith. He feels the black.
BingoBoingo: moiety: In 'Murica we use brand names like Seroquel (also known as benadryl on steroids)
artifexd: Hephaestus was a blacksmith to the gods. He created wonderful and amazing things that were used and appreciated by the most powerful beings in the universe. I'd say he felt pretty proud and satisfied.
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
moiety: ofc sorry ishould translate my drugs for globality
artifexd: BingoBoingo, we seem to both use english as a source for our vocabulary but you put words together in ways that completely confound me.
artifexd: "He didn't feel a smith." <- He didn't feel like a creator of stuff?
artifexd: "He feels the black" <- black as in ostracized?
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Maybe scroll up? Charles Sander Peirce (pronounced Purse) could simplify these rules
TestingUnoDosTre: moiety, how you know quetiapine isnt addictive?
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: It can be in prison
TestingUnoDosTre: cant all sleep aids be considered habit forming?
BingoBoingo: I've heard such from victims of my current legal adversary
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Who do you think you are?
BingoBoingo: Simply>
TestingUnoDosTre: is this like a metaphysical question or what?
TestingUnoDosTre: the reason why I asked about quetiapine is because I use it, and think of it as habit forming
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 39902 @ 0.00095402 = 38.0673 BTC [-] {2}
moiety: TestingUnoDosTre: it's not by chemical nature. people can believe they are addicted to it, but it is not in the physical dependancy sense like benzodiazapines are
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Actual metaphysics is still physics
moiety: its also a mood lifter so it gets used for people with depression that have problems sleeping (the racing thought thing)
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Slightly different doses of these drugs have such different effects
BingoBoingo: Except ETOH, I'll blow when I get in from garage
TestingUnoDosTre: ahah alright
TestingUnoDosTre: bets on over / under .37?
BingoBoingo: I guess I can't bet because I am reading
TestingUnoDosTre: which side would you bet?
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: I'd bet over
moiety: <BingoBoingo> TestingUnoDosTre: Slightly different doses of these drugs have such different effects << so true

bounce: tangentially, there was a... german? that came up with radar-absorbing paint. refused to sell to anyone but "the government" but those weren't interested. wonder if such paint would get you out of speeding tickets. though with ANPR that's a bit moot these days.

bounce blames fluffypony for the rise of the ANPR databases
mircea_popescu: actually, i recall a time when romanian police used plain radars on the roads, and you could get electronic invisibility kits
fluffypony: once it was working with reasonable accuracy it was quite astonishing to see how many peopel tailgated and then came back days and weeks later

ThickAsThieves: "The above approach works as long as the majority of hashpower is honest"
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: imho Bitcoin isn't designed to be used for a quick purchase of food and drink...but a system that has convenience + chargebacks can be built on top of Bitcoin quite easily (the way credit cards and PayPal are all essentially built on top of cash)

HeySteve: well, is it possible to accidentally a block containing a double spend?
ThickAsThieves: who knows what's possible when you add a new feature that already exists
ThickAsThieves: and when that is the same person whom, if i recall, helped the last fork occur
chetty: very statist, fix problems that don't exist thus creating problems that do

Naphex: i wouldn't read too much into it
Naphex: just a ranking algo, doing its job

fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: what's the medium of exchange?
ThickAsThieves: karma / points
ThickAsThieves: yesterday it was already established that a point system could work as an economy
fluffypony: yes, but how do you exchange them between individuals?
fluffypony: "upvote my post and I'll upvote yours" ?
ThickAsThieves: same as with WoT ratings
ThickAsThieves: for every post every user gets one pos coin and one neg coin
fluffypony: except with WoT the medium of exchange is Bitcoin, by the Trilema post?
ThickAsThieves: in the WoT the moe is rating points
ThickAsThieves: read yesterdays log
ThickAsThieves: i was exploring whether the the WoT itself contains an economy
fluffypony: must've missed that, I will
HeySteve: rating points are only as good as their issuer
ThickAsThieves: well, theyre only as good as the person assessing the issuer decided
ThickAsThieves: (just pointing out the value is dynamic)
HeySteve: how about a system where ratings are destroyed if the issuer is collectively deemed a fake or scammer?

assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 82100 @ 0.00096057 = 78.8628 BTC [+] {3}
ThickAsThieves: you dont destroy points
ThickAsThieves: you take them back
ThickAsThieves: they always exist
Naphex: where do you get them points from?
ThickAsThieves: in WoT? For every user created, each other user received 10 pos "coins" and 10 neg "coins"
ThickAsThieves: the rules of the economy state thpse coins can only be used with that user
ThickAsThieves: and that the original owner can take them back at any time
ThickAsThieves: it's certainly not a typical or, arguably, ideal, economy
ThickAsThieves: but i think it qualifies nonetheless
HeySteve: I'm still stuck on this Sybil thing :) if you identify a puppet troupe, is there a mechanism to neutralise it beyond information-sharing?
ThickAsThieves: well is that a feature required within Mircea's theory?
ThickAsThieves: nowhere does it say you must be able to remove threat
ThickAsThieves: you must only have ability to identify one
ThickAsThieves: and punish one
HeySteve: oh, well I am talking more with a view to my project, still reading on MP's theory
ThickAsThieves: whats your project again?
ThickAsThieves: we could run it through the test
ThickAsThieves: and maybe see if you have a hole
HeySteve: essentially to integrate a reputation system within a blockchain
HeySteve: cool I'd appreciate it
HeySteve: mircea_popescu suggested I share one of the key elements, which is that trust rating influences mining rewards
ThickAsThieves: first it is not yet proven that all systems require an "mircean" economy, though i suspect they do
HeySteve: this makes things a little trickier
HeySteve: decentralised system, this is?
ThickAsThieves: his theory doenst outright require decentralization either
kakobrekla: taaki didit.
HeySteve: all right, so medium of exchange, punishment gazette, public forum
ThickAsThieves: what is your system's MoE?
ThickAsThieves: ratings right?
HeySteve: altcoin
ThickAsThieves: so it has two?
HeySteve: or bitcoin if a sidechain, if that happens
ThickAsThieves: you can rate people AND get paid?
HeySteve: having two allows secure lending
HeySteve: lending against rep
ThickAsThieves: your goal is to make a rating system?
HeySteve: yes, you can rate and transact
ThickAsThieves: or a lending one?
ThickAsThieves: if both, handle them separately
HeySteve: the goal is to make a less scammy cryptocurrency
kakobrekla: as long as you can attach you linkedin profile to it, you should be fine!
HeySteve: oh yes, they are separate
HeySteve: oh crumbs no linkedin
ThickAsThieves: so by my subtheory, i'd say you need all the mircean features in both systems
HeySteve: well, public forum... yes I knocked up a quick phpBB for testing
ThickAsThieves: it seems odd to me that you are recreating the WoT, when it already exists
ThickAsThieves: wouldnt it be more productive to improve the existing one by helping with decentralization efforts or such?
kakobrekla: he just wants to make a spoonfork
HeySteve: well, that is indeed how I hope things turn out

HeySteve: well if a fork is for stabbing, a blockchain is for timestamping as nanotube said to me
ThickAsThieves: apparently even the spork needed innovating
kakobrekla: wheres the chopstick in this thing
HeySteve: timestamping doesn't initially seem to add much to a WoT, but I'm starting to think the more data points the easier to spot Sibyls
ThickAsThieves: sold separately
HeySteve: an individual is easy to fake, a real network much harder (so my theory goes)
ThickAsThieves: time-stamping is useful
ThickAsThieves: it helps someone add context when asessing ratings
ThickAsThieves: assessing*
HeySteve: is there a time associated with anything but registration in the WoT?
HeySteve: I'm thinking rating will be a transaction, so that's timestamped and recorded. as you say, it is another level of context
ThickAsThieves: yeah it stores when you rated someone

ThickAsThieves: i think the point of the mircean way is to have "moderation" be dynamic to the viewer
ThickAsThieves: the system provides all the info needed to decide for yourself
HeySteve: fluffypony, nonetheless it is necessary to have at least level 2 trust with assbot or be vouched for to participate

mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> I'm still stuck on this Sybil thing :) if you identify a puppet troupe, is there a mechanism to neutralise it beyond information-sharing? << no, by definition.

mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> first it is not yet proven that all systems require an "mircean" economy, though i suspect they do << all systems contain one, whether aware or not, i'd say.

mircea_popescu: <HeySteve> timestamping doesn't initially seem to add much to a WoT, but I'm starting to think the more data points the easier to spot Sibyls <<< wot has timestamps as it is.
mircea_popescu: blockchain would only add some further trust to the already existing states, is all.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve voice here is a wholly innovative, quite well designed thing. it has exactly nothing in common with "moderation" as used on the interwebs forums
mircea_popescu: <ThickAsThieves> all "sustainable" systems at least <<< all systems with moving parts.
mircea_popescu: that's wehy it';s so important, that theory : because it describes the limits of the possibility of being,
mircea_popescu: it's not a technology, it's ontology.
ThickAsThieves: so what steps are needed to make this theory a law?
mircea_popescu: people spending a while trying to find a contradiction with reality and failing to do so.
chetty: yeah keep trying to disprove
fluffypony: that would make it akin to a natural law, yes?
ThickAsThieves: itll be a tough one to prove
ThickAsThieves: since a broken economy can exist for a long time
ThickAsThieves: and people will keep pointing to those
HeySteve: this is why I asked about decentralised systems
chetty: humans break everything, its a natural law
bounce: just add brokers, and free market theory says it'll cease to be broken. well, at least the brokers won't go broke.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony yeah, kinda how darwin's stuff ended up law.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves but functional is no argument in this discussion.
ThickAsThieves: but how do you prove that a functional economy is broken?
ThickAsThieves: other than by saying it's missing mircean qualities
ThickAsThieves: you can't say, the definition of "definition" is definition
ThickAsThieves: (unless you are a BitBet mod)
HeySteve: I would tentatively suggest an economy is broken if it leaks value into competing economies
mircea_popescu: no but listen, this is not a discussion of whether a house collapsed
mircea_popescu: it's a discussion of whether it has load bearing walls.
mircea_popescu: of fucking course it does, whether it falls down or not.
mircea_popescu: the concept of load bearing can be illustrated by proving that the walls that stand actually have loadbearing ability in excess of the load
mircea_popescu: and the walls that fall vice versa
mircea_popescu: it can't be disproven by showing some houses standing.

moiety: i hate message things that give a 'read' report. just leads to "why did it take you 4 hours to reply?"
fluffypony: moiety: WhatsApp is the worst with that..."I see the message got delivered because there's a second tick...are we fighting now that you're not replying?"
davout: moiety: the best way to answer that is "because i didn't feel like it"

fluffypony: hah hah
fluffypony: that's when they "surprise" you with a visit to your house, right?

moiety: i got a "and who's this?" once .. "zoom in, its the doctors -_-"

moiety: i never used whats app, they kept info of people on their users contacts lists that didnt even have the app o.o
benkay: i'll do you one better
benkay: if i ever want to get off the iphone i have to get a new number, because my current number is cached in every iphone that's ever texted me and will go over apple's servers no matter no matter.

benkay: i'll probably have to keep the old number alive and set up an auto-responder saying 'this number is dead please try blah blah blah..."

benkay: but i'm now fucked on this number

ThickAsThieves: fuck that
ThickAsThieves: what do they know
ThickAsThieves: thats your job
ThickAsThieves: you dont want your investors/board acting as employees
fluffypony: fair enough
fluffypony: it was more in terms of avoiding scammy pre-orders (mitigating risk) in that space

ThickAsThieves: with the incoming Scrypt ASICs, does that threaten efforts like your PCI-e multiplexer?
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: scrypt-n and X11 based coins will still need miners, and the BOINC/Folding@Home crowd will need it to
fluffypony: in fact, there's more experimentation with stuff like that being done by the OCLHashCat guys than in the mining community
fluffypony: because they're not bound by the confines of "what is the most profitable" bullshit

fluffypony: stay in crypto and we can pretty much do whatever we want
Naphex: fluffypony: yeah but youre just sending customer money
fluffypony: Naphex: local exchange has 10BTC daily volume, so we'd have to do BitStamp -> us -> international wire

fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: yes - I've got deeper numbers on that that I can include, didn't know if it would be info overload

fluffypony: yeah, so that's placeholder branding then :-P
benkay: fluffypony: what pays your rent right now?
fluffypony: benkay: I draw a salary at a group level
ThickAsThieves: if you must have Bee, then BeePay
benkay: a salary from this group of companies?
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: the Bee was only for the .ee domain hack
ThickAsThieves: it's okay domain hacks dont add success rate
fluffypony: benkay: no - the GearTribe Group, has a 5% stake in OpenRigs
fluffypony: and a bunch of other companies
ThickAsThieves: are you represented within the 5% of GearTribe's too?
ThickAsThieves: as in, are you separately part of GearTribe
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: yes
ThickAsThieves: probly should disclose such

jurov: ThickAsThieves: how would they enforce?
ThickAsThieves: by forcing an entity in their country to enact AML
ThickAsThieves: and cooperate with providing logs or whateverthefuck
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: if a country banned inter-crypto trades that would affect the exchange primarily?
ThickAsThieves: i didnt say banned
fluffypony: oh AML
ThickAsThieves: i'm just exploring whether you are exposed to red tape
ThickAsThieves: basically
fluffypony: we aren't required (right now) to KYC to receive crypto
ThickAsThieves: if i love your mining rig idea
ThickAsThieves: i have to also love your trade idea
ThickAsThieves: this is a problem
fluffypony: the exchange can be required to KYC us as the depositer
fluffypony: ok so then I split it out
fluffypony: separate the entities
mrstickball: ThickAsThieves: what was fluffypony's rig idea?
Naphex: this is in paybee context yes?
fluffypony: Naphex: yes
Naphex: does paybee accept 0conf?
fluffypony: mrstickball: the frames etc.
fluffypony: Naphex: not a chance
mrstickball: didn't know if there was something else to it
ThickAsThieves: you have less money allocated to building this Paybee thing
Naphex: ok. does paybee issue 'different' pub addresses for deposits/payments
ThickAsThieves: than the mining software?
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: because I've done most of the underlying work, it's just front-end crap that needs to be done
ThickAsThieves: dont you have like major security hurdles?
mircea_popescu: this latest hearn bullshit is even more laughable than gmaxwell's previous attack.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck needs protection from bitundo ?
mircea_popescu: i can not be bitundone. nobody sane can. wtf.
Naphex: dunno
Naphex: does anyone use bitundo?
mircea_popescu: "let's solve problems that don't exist through breaking the bitcoin protocol"
fluffypony: Naphex: kind-of - a payment is only possible for 15 mins, so an address can be re-used every few hours
fluffypony: doesn't have to be completely fresh
ThickAsThieves: of course no one uses bitundo
ThickAsThieves: Hearn is either a devil, or has some kind of offense to people poking at bitcoin
ThickAsThieves: like Luke-Jr barring sdice tx
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves more like, they developed bitundo
ThickAsThieves: children
mircea_popescu: nao trying to pass it off as somehow relevant.
Naphex: fluffypony: plenty of room for explotation there. which will bug out and might cause your 0conf balance to go wildly negative
Naphex: lots of edge cases
fluffypony: Naphex: if someone makes a late payment, for eg.?
mircea_popescu: cazalla you there ?
ThickAsThieves: so fluffypony
Naphex: fluffypony: a lot of the cases are around how you aquire and track tx data
ThickAsThieves: overall,
ThickAsThieves: what i see is a nice little hardware business, with ideas about what it could branch to
Naphex: that might easily cause problems with a bad implo
ThickAsThieves: getting bogged down by a load of shit
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [ALC] 2 @ 0.14 = 0.28 BTC
ThickAsThieves: you ask for $350k when $100k would take you a long way if you focused
fluffypony: Naphex: we watch the address for the amount requested; if it appears we know it's paid, if it doesn't (wrong amount, too late) we can't "contact the client" to let them know - they have to contact us and say "ohai, I screwed up"
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: appreciate the input, I'll work a bit more on splitting it out
Naphex: fluffypony: what happens if i senf a tx to multiple addresses you track
Naphex: send*
Naphex: and send 0.1 to each
fluffypony: Naphex: doesn't matter, we're expecting 0.5 to address X, not to the "wallet" as a whole
ThickAsThieves: note i'm not saying split it out
ThickAsThieves: i'm saying the extra shit should be tabled til the other parts are fully grown
fluffypony ponders
Naphex: fluffypony: yeah but in my case you are receiving 4 payments in the same tx
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: so then would it be better to 1. keep everything in but stagger the funding (eg. 100k now, another 100k when X milestones reached, etc.), or 2. take stuff out and then seek further funding later
Naphex: to 4 different addresses that you track awaiting payment

fluffypony: Naphex: sure, but we aren't watching transactions
fluffypony: Naphex: have you worked with listreceivedbyaddress at all?
ThickAsThieves: well, in my opinion, i think the hardware business is the most sensible aspect, and then the mineotour stuff a nice thing to branch into
ThickAsThieves: so maybe 2 phases
ThickAsThieves: and 1 paybee gets tabled to be revisited in a year or whatever
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: ok cool, I'll start reworking
fluffypony: thanks for all the input everyone
fluffypony: Naphex: getting back to what you were saying - listreceivedbyaddress <minconf=1> <includeempty=false>
fluffypony: so we poll that
Naphex: ah
fluffypony: and once an amount is available in an address for the minimum number of confs it's in the json
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [B.SELL] 5 @ 0.0425 = 0.2125 BTC [-]
fluffypony: (listreceivedbyaddress shows a "running total", of sorts, so you have to know what the previous value was to spot that it's changed, but that's trivial"
Naphex: fluffypony: i know, a lot of implos i reviewex had very bugged tracking
Naphex: thats why i was asking
fluffypony: Naphex: yeah I know, I struggled with the dynamics for a while before settling on "just poll the daemon"
fluffypony: early attempts were "just watch the blockchain", but altcoins implementations are so ridiculous

mircea_popescu: gotta love how schneier sticks these psy-ops little turds in everything he writes.
bounce: though the real question is, is that a /signed/ tag?
mircea_popescu: yo, bruce, wakeup call : the nsa is about as fucktartded as you are. srsly.
bounce: actually, no. they employ a fsckton of mathematicians and they know everything that's in the open plus an unspecified amount we don't know about. best guess (last I heard) was that they're about five years ahead of the open community with the research
mircea_popescu: bounce nonsense.
bounce: you can see how that works in, say, DES, where the NSA suggested stuff that turned out to be resistant to a type of attack not known publically at the time DES was finalised
mircea_popescu: if spending money solved problems the phoenician empire'd still be a thing.
mircea_popescu: nobody is denying a lot of smart people work for the nsa.
mircea_popescu: heck, a lot of smart people worked for microsoft, and alcatel, and whatever other pointless dinosaur. adobe.
mircea_popescu: that does not make ADOBE smart. at all.
mircea_popescu: for all the brilliant russians living in the 70s, the ussr was dumb as rocks.
bounce: yeah, but we're not talking NSA as a whole. we're talking the stuff that comes out of there in the form of algorithms
mircea_popescu: it's not clear why this reclassification'd be useful to your position.
Apocalyptic: "best guess (last I heard) was that they're about five years ahead of the open community with the research" that may have been accurate a few years ago
Apocalyptic: i don't believe it's the case nowadays
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic it was perhaps accurate in the 90s.
Apocalyptic: sounds reasonable
mircea_popescu: as the things stand right now, they never had an internal bitcoin,
mircea_popescu: and we wiped their heartbleed.
mircea_popescu: and while we know what they don't know, they don't know what we know.
mircea_popescu: which... you know.
Apocalyptic: a possible explanation may be that cryptography as a field wasn't that broad in academia back then
bounce: still, they know what we know plus a bunch we don't know much about. we don't know how big it is, we don't know what it does. for that reason you have to be careful with their "gifts". that's the point he's making.

mircea_popescu: because you imagine perfect knowledge ("everyone publishes everything they know and everyone reads it all") to get your result
mircea_popescu: this is not at all how teh community works.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i know what he's pretending he's trying to say, but that ain't at all what he;s saying. what he's saying is "resistence is futile", that's the message, and it's a ridiculous.
bounce: that's not how I read it
mircea_popescu: now without offense, let me just propose to you as a theory that it's possible you'd not know how you read it. in the same sense advertising works.
bounce: wouldn't surprise me if the NSA has everyone with a little crypto knowledge on watchlists just to see the privately-circulating papers
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 45 @ 0.00509 = 0.2291 BTC [-]
bounce: I think you're reaching with that line of reasoning. I know how I read it and I disagree with how you read it. I will allow that a-priori notions on either side (or both) might have something to do with the interpretation.
mircea_popescu: well that's as far as it can possibly go huh
bounce: you might ask him which he ment, and why. :-)
mircea_popescu: i might as well ask obama if he really meant i can keep my insurance.
bounce: c'mon, cook up a nice 20 questions to finnagle the truth out of oracle schneier
mircea_popescu: he'd be insulted
bounce: and you care about that, how? o_O?
mircea_popescu: that's the trick with "being insulted" : it affords plausible deniability to they who don't want to have the truth extracted.
mircea_popescu: well i don't care, but he'd stop answering.

mircea_popescu: so, as kids, one party game was to whistle into an old, low baud modem. they were slow enough that it was still sort-of feasible. the game was, who gets the modem going for longer thinking it's got a sane modem on the other end
mircea_popescu: (trivial to observe when it noticed you're human because of the very distinctive "error pls to start over" tone"
mircea_popescu: i believe that's really the model for all communication.
bounce: doing a little survey among cryptographers of name with how and at what size they assess the NSA's knowledge advandage, if any, might be interesting. doing it every couple years maybe even moreso.
bounce: I don't think all communication is quite that lopsided, to be honest.
mircea_popescu: ils ne se servent de la pensée que pour autoriser leurs injustices, et emploient les paroles que pour déguiser leurs pensées
mircea_popescu: bounce how do you mean lopsided ?
bounce: then again, much of it isn't quite so very good either.
mircea_popescu: what i meant was strictly this, that your particular response matched what i may have accepted as proof that you indeed may know how you read it.
